Qatari foreign minister in Ankara for talks with Turkish officials

ANKARA

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdurrahman al-Thani arrived in Ankara for talks with the Turkish leadership, after a recent attempt to resolve the ongoing dispute between his country and major Arab powers failed.

Al-Thani first met with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on Sept 12 before being received by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

No statement was issued after the talks.

Turkey has been among few supporters of Qatar after Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain cut ties with Doha. Ankara has endorsed Kuwait’s mediation efforts to solve the problem through diplomatic means.
